What else can I help you with?
What direction does the space shuttle go at lift off?
the east
Why do the Space shuttle engines gimbal after ignition?
The shuttle's main engines gimbal before engine start and lift-off to ensure that the exhaust gases are projected in the correct direction as a way of steering the shuttle. The gimbaling enables the shuttle to clear the tower and again to perform the belly roll it does after the tower is cleared.
How long does a rocket take to take off?
From the time the Space Shuttle's on-board computers start the launch sequence until the time the shuttle actually lifts off the pad is about 31 seconds. About 60 seconds after lift off, the engines on the shuttle are at maximum throttle.
How does a space shuttle lift off the ground so easily?
A space shuttle lifts off the ground so easily due to a combination of its powerful engines and controlled combustion of rocket fuel. The engines generate enormous thrust that overcomes gravity, allowing the shuttle to ascend into space. Additionally, the shuttle's aerodynamic design helps minimize air resistance and maximize lift during takeoff.
In astronomy what happened in 1981?
March 19 - Three workers are killed and 5 injured during a test of the Space Shuttle Columbia.April 12 - Space Shuttle Columbia launches on STS-1November 12 - The Space Shuttle Columbia lifts off for its second mission.
What would happen on a space walk if the rope connecting you to the shuttle fell off?
If you happened to be moving away from the shuttle at the time, you would continue in that direction until something changed your direction of movement.
What state does the Space Shuttle usually take off from?
The Space Shuttle usually took off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
How does a space shuttle contribute to space?
a space shuttle blasts off to space containing people and other organisms or devices. we discovered space through a telescope, and explored it with a space shuttle.
Where did the space shuttle Challenger take off?
Atlantic ocean off the coast of central Florida
What year did space shuttle Challenger explode on lift-off?
Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986.
How is the space shuttle and the Orion are similar?
The space shuttle is big just like the Orion. And they both get send off into space
What are the two forces acting when a space shuttles take off?
The two forces acting on a space shuttle during take off and throughout its ascent through the atmosphere are Thrust and Weight. Moreover, there is also a drag force in the direction of the weight, i.e., opposite to the motion of the space shuttle. Hope that's what you were looking for. :)
